Brookwood's Science Fair Scores ~ January 14, 2020
Brookwood’s Second Annual Science Fair was a success. Every student should be proud of participating and learning more about our world.

Six Flags Read to Succeed Reading Program
Read to Succeed is a free program that allows students in grades K-5 to earn a ticket to Six Flags Over Georgia just by reading six hours for fun.
The process is new this year. Each student needs the help of their parent to register for the program using a special class code unique to their homeroom teacher. A sheet was sent home before Thanksgiving break with the classroom code on it. Please contact your student’s homeroom teacher if you still need the code. Next go to www.sixflags.com/books and register your child. Each Brookwood child needs to be registered in your family under their homeroom teacher. Each time a child reads for fun, record your child’s reading on the Six Flag’s site.
All reading and the recording online needs to be complete by April 3, 2020. No late entries will be allowed. Once your child has read six hours, they will qualify for a free ticket. Six Flag tickets will be distributed in May.
Happy Reading!

Family Connect Nights!
Brookwood works with our middle and high school feeder schools to have a combined Family Connect Night once a month. This night is designed to put down homework and connect as a family. Some great ideas are to try something new, cook dinner together, have a puzzle night, game night, go for a walk or anything where you change up your routine and be in the moment! Be on the lookout for how we will post pics of your awesome Family Night!
